Answer and Explanation:
Alcohols are homologous series in which there is atleast one hydroxyl group present on an unsaturated carbon atom
The general formula of an alcohol is R-OH
The naming of alcohols are given by :
- Prefix of hydroxy
- Suffix of -ol
We know that, in the naming of organic compounds :
- Meth
One
- Eth
Two
- Prop
Three
- But
Four
- Pent
Five
- Hex
Six
- Hept
Seven
- Oct
Eight
- Non
Nine
- Dec
Ten etc
Hence, propanol is CH₃CH₂CH₂ - OH
Ketones are also homologous series in a carbon atom is attached to a double-bonded oxygen atom
The general formula of a ketone is R-CO-R'
The naming of ketones is given by suffix of -one
We know that, in the naming of organic compounds :
- Meth
One
- Eth
Two
- Prop
Three
- But
Four
- Pent
Five
- Hex
Six
- Hept
Seven
- Oct
Eight
- Non
Nine
- Dec
Ten etc
Hence, propanone is CH₃-CO-CH₃
